STARLIGHT.


myriad stars have guided men TO fame,
Have kept them pure by looking to their
light,
And in the blackest depths of sorrows
night
Have been TO them eternally the same,
FILLING their souls with truths unchanging
flame.
And rousing weaklings up to deeds OF
might,
Inspiring them in lfe's unceasing fight
To keep their purpose free from blot or blame
So shalt thou be, my love, my star and sun,
To guide and light NE through my life's
short day
TO Toe in joys or pains my rest, my stay,
And If perchance bef >re my course is run
victor crown shall fall upon my brow.
Thou still shalt be my star as thou art
now.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Cooking Cereals.

The main secret in the preparation of
cereals, says GoOi HoWsci6epiRg, is
thorough cooking; and this necessitates
cooking them slowly, in the proper guam
tity of liquid, for Il considerable length
OF time. A great deal has been written
about preparing mushes for the table in
from two TO twenty minutes, and many
cooks serve them prepared in that length
of time; but all cereals are more digcs-
tible and much finer favored when
thoroughly cooked. The table given be-
low will bc found approximately accurate
as regards the proportions of grain and
liquid TO be used, and the length of time
required TO perfectly cook the following
grains and grain products:
Pearled Wheat-Five measures of
liquid TO each measure of wheat. Cook
from four TO six hours.
Pcarled Barley-Five measures of
liquid to each measure OF barley. Cook
from four TO six hours.
Coarse Hominy-Five measures Of
liquid TO each measure of hominy. Cook
from six TO ten hours.
Fine lIominy -Four measures of liquid
to each measure of hominy. Cook from
four to six hours.
Coarse Oatmcll-Four measures of
from four TO six hours.
Rolled Wheat - Three measures of
liquid to each measure of wheat. Cook
! two hours.
Rolled Barley. Three measures Of
liquid to each measure of bar,ey. Cook
two hours.
Rolled Oats vena)-Thee measures
Of liquid to each measure Of oats. Cook
an hour.
Rice-Three measures Of liquid to each
measure of rice. Cook nm hour
! Farina-SiS measures OF liquid to each
measure Of farinl. Cook half an hour
TO an hour.
Ccrcaliue Flakcs-One measure of
/ liquid to each measure OF cerealinc.
Cook half an hour.
Water a one can he used for cooking
any OF the cereals, bat most Of them arc
richer and finer Favored when the LIQUID
used is milk and water. mixed i'm about
equal proportions. Ispc tally is this the
case with barley, rice. hominy and iarina
The quantity OF salt that should bc USED
in cooking cereals is largely matter
OF individual taste, as some people like
considerable, and some very little salt il
their food. A safe general rule, how
ever, to ofollow, is TO add half teaspoon
ful of salt to each pint OF liquid.
All cereals can be cooked very per
fcctly in an ordinary agate ware or por
celain lined stew-pan, If CAREFUL,
watched and stirred; but, ms much stir
ring renders cereals starchy, and rob
them of good deal of their finest flavors
n double boiler, frequently callcl
fdrina boiler, is much the best and mos
convenient utensil for cooking mushe
and grains OF every kind.
To cook cercas in double boiler
Fill the outside boiler two thirds full o.
boiling water, put the nece sary quantit,
of liquid in the inside kettle, add til,
requisite amount OF salt, and whcl
it boils, sprinkle in the grain or meal
stirring slowly until it swells or thicken
enough to keep it from settling to tn,
bottom Of the kettle. Then cease stir
ring, and let it boil slowly until thor
oughly cooked. All mushes thcken il
cooling, and in preparing cereals to b.
eaten cold the proportion OF liquic
should be incrc ,scd at least one. third
That is all good advice.

The Captain and Fido.
From the Hartford Comont.

Thursday afternoon the Cour0nt had the
honor and pleasure of call from Capt. Robert
w. Andrews, of South Carolina. Fido accom-
panied him. The Captain was 81 years old on
the Fourth of July, this year Fido will be !
years old on his next birthday They walked
up from South Carolina early in the season and
now they are walking back again. 1t is the Cap
tain'S seventh visit ton feot) to the North and
Fido's second.
He has enjoyed his summer North very much.
he says. Besides seeing his son in Boston he
has taken n ramble through Vermont and New
Hampshire and has revisited the village up in
Maine where ne learned the shipwright's trade
in 1S17-before he went to sea a saloring and
learned thai trade. The Captain is also prac-
teal farmer and a horse doctor of seventy four
years standing, with army experience as
veterinary surgeon under his good friend, Gen
Wade Hampton.
To the question whether he wasn't sometimes
afraid of Uelng robbed on those long iaunts the
Captain replied, with a knowing smile that ne
never carried money enough in his pockets to
make ii worth anybody's while and that he had
taken care his habits in that respect should be
known. Whenever he gets few dollars that
he has no immediate Use for he drops In at the
first pOstoffice and sends them home. Once on
n country road down South, a negro undertook,
under pretense Of carrying the ''boss s. bag. to
despoil him, but as he MADE dash for the cane
brake the Captain ilred two shots at him. The
negro dropped the bug and vanished, and the
Captain hasn't seen him since II don't know
whether bit him." he says "but hit the bag
anyway" f
Unless unexpectedly detained on the way, he
and Eido will reach South Carolina about Nov
perhaps sooner If he makes contemplated
purchase of horse and buggy Tor the more
convenient carrying of his books, etc. Once
home, they will take a month or six weeks rest
and then start on a walk across the continent
to San Francisco, II think now we shall come
back around the Horn, " said the captain.

A Shock to the Teacher.

From the Boston journal of Education.
An Eastern teacher was visiting a Western
school when the class was reciting upon the his
tory which concerned Boston. Bunker Hill, Lex
ington and Concord. The visitor stepped to the
board, drew sketch of Boston, Charles river
Charlestown, the Old North Church with Ian
tern swinging in the steeple. and Bunker Hill
monument. She asked what church they
thought that to be, and they answered promptly
1.-THE Old North Church - Pointing to the monti-
ment she asked what they thought that to be.
There was no response. She tried to have them
guess. They besitated She persisted, and
bright boy said 1T is the north pole" The
teacher was greatly mortified, because, being
graduate of the Salem, Mass, State Normal
School, she prided herself upon the skill with
which she had taught the fact that the axis of
the earth was an imaginary line, and there were
no poles When after school, she called him
to her side and asked how he could have made
such blunder, he said he knew there was no
pole at the end of the axis, but he had heard a
great deal about the north pole, - and had won
dered what it could be- and when he saw such
big pole by the North Church he thought it must
be the North Pole.

Fyom the Ney York Times

From the Nel1 York Times.
He had gone home little late the week be-
fore little worse for wear and was making a
manly effort to get to bed without disturbing his
silent partner when his foot caught in some
thing that felt like bird cage about his ankles,
and he pitched forward until he reached the
mantel which he found with his nose He ut
tered an exclamation which transformed his
silent partner into one of the most active kind
of active partners, and compelled an explana-

object that had caused him to fall was brought
up for imprecation and analysis 1t was his
first offense, and his wife, therefore, allowed
dignation over the condition in which he pre-
scented himself So she plastered his nose and
said the wreck didn't matter; it could be easily
replaced. But where's the rest of it? and
what's become of the bird?" asked he ''The

The New Comman der.

The Grand Army of the Republic was de-
termined not to elect Democrat Com
mander-in-C Chief 1t could not have chosen
an ADLER nor more popular man than Gen
Slocum. but the fact that he was Demo
crat was against him. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the new commander, Judge John
2. Rea, of Minneapolis, Mimi, will give
better satisfaction that Gen. Fairchild did
1t is certainly to be hoped that he will show
more discretion in his public utteranceS.
The new commander is not great man
by any means. He has had a very modest
career He is about A years of age and is
a native of Chester county, Penn
sylvania He entered the war as n
private and rose to the rank of major.
At its close he became student at
a little Ohio college, at which he graduated
in 1861 He studied law year and was adj
mitted to practice in Pennsylvania. In
1875 he went to Minneapolis, and in a little
while became probate judge, and finally
was appointed district judge. His record
shows that he is better stump speaker
than a lawyer, and that to his oratorical
powers he owes the most of the success he
has achieved in life The Grand Army
people will doubtless find him an agreeable
change after their experience with their
late commander, Gen. Fairchild

near President Cleveand's country residence in
the District of Columbia. Mr.. Cleveland is very
sociable, and is pleased to have his neighboTs
neighborly, and to call frequently. During the
sojourn of Our Ecounty folks they went over to
pay their respects to the farmer President and
statesman. Three days after the visit our
jefferson friend discovered that he had ex-
changed hats with the President and Mr. Cleve-
land was not aware of the swap until the Jeffer-
sonan called again and assured the nations
chief that he had not come for Office but only to
bring back his hat. Grover shook his fat sides
with hearty laughter and declared himself
quite satisfied with the exchange, as Mr. A. s
hat was quite new, while his own was decidedly
the worse for the wear during his tramp through
the Adirondacks, After pleasant chat on the
porch the Jeffersoniau babe the President

to see him in West Virginia. Either way the

Two sprigs of fashion, who reside with their
parents in the West End, have won the applause
of their associates by firing six or seven bullets
at each other The trouble grew out of a
fault and a few blows with their fists should
have made them good friends They disdained
however, a method Of obtaining satisfaction
only fit for plebeians. The sc vices of seconds
were secured, and the time was set for the
ridiculous contest. The event took place short
distance beyond the city limits. The use of
eyeglasses had doubtless impaired the eyesight
of the duelists, for though they shot at each
other six or seven times, not one drop of blood
was shed. The bullets flew wide of their marks,
and honor was preserved with unbroken skin.
